Numeri (عدد) 24

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فلما رأى بلعام انه يحسن في عيني الرب ان يبارك اسرائيل لم ينطلق كالمرة الاولى والثانية ليوافي فألا بل جعل نحو البرية وجهه.	1 Balaam then saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel. He did not go as before to seek omens butturned towards the desert.
2 ورفع بلعام عينيه ورأى اسرائيل حالا حسب اسباطه. فكان عليه روح الله	2 Raising his eyes Balaam saw Israel settled tribe by tribe; the spirit of God came on him
3 فنطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.	3 and he declaimed his poem, as fol ows: The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of theman with far-seeing eyes,
4 وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير مطروحا وهو مكشوف العينين.	4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God. He sees what Shaddai makes him see, receivesthe divine answer, and his eyes are opened.
5 ما احسن خيامك يا يعقوب مساكنك يا اسرائيل.	5 How fair your tents are, Jacob, how fair your dwel ings, Israel,
6 كاودية ممتدة كجنّات على نهر كشجرات عود غرسها الرب. كارزات على مياه	6 like val eys that stretch afar, like gardens by the banks of a river, like aloes planted by Yahweh, likecedars beside the waters!
7 يجري ماء من دلائه ويكون زرعه على مياه غزيرة ويتسامى ملكه على اجاج وترتفع مملكته.	7 A hero arises from their stock, he reigns over countless peoples. His king is greater than Agag, andhis kingship held in honour.
8 الله اخرجه من مصر. له مثل سرعة الرئم. يأكل امما مضايقيه ويقضم عظامهم ويحطم سهامه.	8 God has brought him out of Egypt, is like the wild ox's horns to him. He devours the corpses of hisenemies, breaking their bones, piercing them with his arrows.
9 جثم كأسد ربض كلبوة. من يقيمه. مباركك مبارك ولاعنك ملعون	9 He has crouched, he has lain down, like a lion, like a lioness; who dare rouse him? Blessed be thosewho bless you, and accursed be those who curse you!
10 فاشتعل غضب بالاق على بلعام وصفق بيديه وقال بالاق لبلعام. لتشتم اعدائي دعوتك وهوذا انت قد باركتهم الآن ثلاث دفعات.	10 Balak flew into a rage with Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to Balaam, 'I brought youto curse my enemies, and you have insisted on blessing them three times over!
11 فالآن اهرب الى مكانك. قلت اكرمك اكراما وهوذا الرب قد منعك عن الكرامه.	11 So now go home as fast as your legs can carry you. I promised to load you with honours. Yahwehhimself has deprived you of them.'
12 فقال بلعام لبالاق ألم اكلم ايضا رسلك الذين ارسلت اليّ قائلا.	12 Balaam retorted to Balak, 'Did I not tel the messengers you sent me,
13 ولو اعطاني بالاق ملء بيته فضة وذهبا لا اقدر ان اتجاوز قول الرب لاعمل خيرا او شرا من نفسي. الذي يتكلمه الرب اياه اتكلم.	13 "Even if Balak gave me his house ful of gold and silver I could not go against Yahweh's order anddo anything of my own accord, whether for good or il ; whatever Yahweh says is what I shal say"?
14 والآن هوذا انا منطلق الى شعبي. هلم انبئك بما يفعله هذا الشعب بشعبك في آخر الايام	14 Now that I am going back to my own folk, let me warn you what this people wil do to your people, indays to come.'
15 ثم نطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.	15 He then declaimed his poem, as fol ows: The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of theman with far-seeing eyes,
16 وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله ويعرف معرفة العلي. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير ساقطا وهو مكشوف العينين.	16 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, of one who knows the knowledge of the MostHigh. He sees what Shaddai makes him see, receives the divine answer, and his eyes are opened.
17 اراه ولكن ليس الآن. ابصره ولكن ليس قريبا. يبرز كوكب من يعقوب ويقوم قضيب من اسرائيل فيحطم طرفي موآب ويهلك كل بني الوغى.	17 I see him -- but not in the present. I perceive him -- but not close at hand: a star is emerging fromJacob, a sceptre is rising from Israel, to strike the brow of Moab, the skul s of al the children of Seth.
18 ويكون ادوم ميراثا. ويكون سعير اعداؤه ميراثا. ويصنع اسرائيل ببأس.	18 Edom too wil be a conquered land, Seir too wil be a conquered land, when Israel exerts hisstrength,
19 ويتسلط الذي من يعقوب ويهلك الشارد من مدينة	19 when Jacob tramples on his enemies and destroys the last survivors of Ar.
20 ثم رأى عماليق فنطق بمثله وقال. عماليق اول الشعوب واما آخرته فالى الهلاك.	20 Balaam then looked at Amalek and declaimed his poem, as fol ows: Amalek, the earliest of nations!But his posterity wil perish forever.
21 ثم رأى القيني فنطق بمثله وقال. ليكن مسكنك متينا وعشك موضوعا في صخرة.	21 He then looked at the Kenites and declaimed his poem, as fol ows: Your dwel ing was firm, Kain,your nest perched high in the rock.
22 لكن يكون قاين للدمار حتى متى يستأسرك اشور.	22 But the nest belongs to Beor; how long wil you be Asshur's captive?
23 ثم نطق بمثله وقال آه من يعيش حين يفعل ذلك.	23 He then declaimed his poem, as fol ows: The Sea-people are gathering in the north,
24 وتأتي سفن من ناحية كتيم وتخضع اشور وتخضع عابر فهو ايضا الى الهلاك	24 the vessels from the coasts of Kittim. They wil bear down on Asshur, bear down on Eber; he too willperish forever.
25 ثم قام بلعام وانطلق ورجع الى مكانه. وبالاق ايضا ذهب في طريقه	25 Balaam then got up, left and went home, and Balak too went his way.
